In more appropriate terms,

There are many roles of the Joint Commission in accrediting medical facilities. The Joint Commission was founded in 1951 and is the nation’s largest accrediting body in health care. They evaluate nearly 21,000 health care organizations in the Unites States. (The Joint Comm, 2016) Once an organization earns the accreditation they are re-surveyed every three years unannounced. They are responsible for making sure that healthcare facilities are up to date on all standards, policies, and procedures. “Joint Commission accreditation can be earned by many types of health care organizations, including hospitals, doctor’s offices, nursing homes, office-based surgery centers, behavioral health treatment facilities, and providers of home care services

When a school receives a negative or unsatisfactory rating it will be important that as an administrator we do not hide but rather face the problem head on. If we try to dodge those who are concerned it will only lead to more anger and fractured relationships. It is important that we focus on maintaining and improving upon our relationships. We need to capture the communities and parents trust through our actions toward improvement which can be supported by data. Per, Maze of Mistrust Parents, Educators, and the Challenge of Public Engagement business groups, local government officials, taxpayers, and civic organizations were sometimes clamoring for change and often mystified by what the schools were up to. Now is the time that we must

In 1983, Ronald Reagan stood in front of the press and read from a report called A Nation at Risk: Imperative for Education Reform. The report had been written by the board of the National Commission on Excellence and Education and gave Americans reason to believe that our system was anything but acceptable. While the report did touch on some positives in American public schools, there were many instances that needed to be fixed. A Nation at Risk opened the eyes of many Americans and thus started a rolling stone for more “rigorous and measurable standards.” Although the notice has hung around school districts across the nation for over thirty

Crucial essential appraisal drives the criteria for a comprehensive development master plan for a parent institution as well as proper program quality review every 5 years. Meaning, the employment of theoretical frameworks, concepts, including models assist the accreditation process for success in continued accreditation, results, more importantly, quality measures for a well-established program (Keating, 2015). In fact, administrators, notwithstanding, stakeholders, promote the institution’s mission, vision, purpose, although, fundamental goals cultivate a formidable educational program (Keating, 2015). Nevertheless, a master plan must be efficiently organized to meet academic standards, professionalism, above all, justifiable continuation

It was good to see you this week. I am glad that you are feeling better.

It is not an exaggeration to say the state’s educational system remains broken. TIME Magazine dubbed Arkansas the long time “Dogpatch of the nation’s school system” However, this crisis in education extended from coast to coast. In pushing for higher standards, Mrs. Clinton stated, “Our schools are not doing as good as they must. While there may be many causes for our dilemma, there is only one solution. We Arkansans have to quit making excuses and accept instead the challenge of excellence once and for all.” (ED Reform,2016)

The College of American Pathologists or CAP is the accrediting organization for laboratory and testing personnel. CAP’s “accreditation process is so thorough, the Joint Commission [and CMS] accepts …their standards” in place of conducting their own survey of the hospital’s laboratory and personnel (Gartee, 2011, p. 47). This is because of the guidelines they follow to maintain their integrity and to remain the industry standard. In recent years, the “CAP [has] developed new check list” for continued improvements. Additionally, they are continuing to vet the requirements for the new next-generation sequencing or NGC-based test that is speeding laboratory procedures. So much so that the recent adoption of the new technology for clinical testing” was done prior to the new standards being approved (Aziz, et.al. 2015, p. 481).

The first pillar of analytic competition is the support of a distinctive capability (Davenport 24). As stated earlier, Archbishop Wood High School has the distinctive capability of providing quality education and offering various outlets for students through clubs, sports, and other extracurricular activities for a far more affordable price than surrounding schools. The administration in charge of running the school does everything possible to continue to improve upon that capability and keep Archbishop Wood an attractive option for high school. The data collected from the SATs, Performance Series, and grades are all used to find ways to improve the school. The curriculum,

Comparably, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) contends the best way to bring about improvement and impact the learning outcomes of every student, is to improve teaching. The 63 board panel mostly consisting of teachers that volunteer and operate a national system that assesses and grants national board certification to eligible teachers. The board certification is a demanding and detailed undertaking. There is a four part written assessment to determine the content area knowledge of national board candidates. The scripted assessment is compiled in a written portfolio. The electronic six part assessment exercise can be taken at an assessment center in the national board candidate’s state (NBPTS, 2013).

There are several reasons I want to apply for the Governor’s STEM and Technology Academy. The foremost motivation is my wish to come out of high school with as much experience as I can gain. The STEM Academy will help me to do this due to the ability for its students to gain as many accreditations as they are capable of. These accreditations will help me be a step ahead when I want to get a job during or after my time as a high school student. In addition, the entrepreneurship area of concentration focuses on my preferred job: becoming an entrepreneur and running my own business. In the summer of 2016, I received the merit badge for Entrepreneurship through my Boy Scout troop. The accreditations you can receive through the entrepreneurship

Hope the conference call on Friday and your weekend went well. It was nice to listen to you speak on Thursday, it seems we have much in common.

Yet, both students and teachers need to be held accountable for teaching and learning. The right evaluation tool hasn’t been created. NWEA is an assessment tool that I believe the state should take a good look at when it comes to testing our kids come 2017. Pierre Moran Middle School, where I currently work, is a D school. This building has had a new principal each year for the last four years. This past school year was no different, only I was added to the mix as AD. We are implementing the recommendations from the state and AdvancED to help turn our buildig around. I’m not if we will see much growth from this past school year, but I am looking forward to seeing what we do 2016-2017. Our goal is to earn the gorwth points and move continue to move our school grade from a D to and A or

There are important institutional mechanisms for monitoring and regulation of the quality of collegiate education may be mentioned, first assessment and accreditation by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and second, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9000 for educational institutions is considered (Narayana .M 2006). If NAAC's accreditation is made compulsory for all colleges, it shall go a long way in professional improvement of quality of higher education, along with mandatory affiliation requirements.
